Post-Diwali Eye & Skin Care – Saideep Hospital

Post-Diwali Eye & Skin Care

Diwali is known as the festival of lights, also a celebration known to cause different kinds of injuries. This year let us be aware of how to take good Post-Diwali Eye & Skin Care – Saideep Hospital

Diwali celebrations mean lots of fun and enjoyment. Unfortunately, improper handling and playing with fireworks account for thousands of emergency room visits each year during the festival. Most people do not think of the accidents that could occur during the festivities due to the fireworks and sparklers. The leading cause of injuries on Diwali is the lack of appropriate safety measures during playing with crackers.

Despite the various health and environmental concerns, few still go ahead in bursting crackers. We need to be aware of the eye and skin safety measures to ensure Diwali’s joy stays with us post the celebrations.

The majority of injuries are associated with flowerpot and bottle rocket crackers. Burns are the most common type of injury.

Eyes are the second-most common area to be affected after hands and fingers. Contusions (blood clots), lacerations(cuts), and foreign bodies in the eye are seen frequently. Bottle rockets can fly into people’s faces and cause eye injuries; crackers can damage the eyesight if they explode at a close range.

These eye injuries could cause loss of vision, especially in children. Cracker causes blunt and penetrating injuries to about 6% to 10%, with nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide levels rise considerably, which also causes irritability and watering of eyes.

Eye Care 

  • Ensure that your eyes are well lubricated (consult your ophthalmologist for medicated drops)
  • Make sure to wash your eyes regularly post Diwali to remove any or all foreign substances.
  • If you are a contact lens wearer, ensure you clean your lenses well post the celebrations. It is advisable to throw the pair that you have worn to avoid any infections or irritations.
  • Don’t press or rub the eye with your palm or hand. In case of an injury, it may get compounded.
  •  If you feel any kind of burning or painful sensation in your eyes, don’t cover it with your hand or cloth as it creates undue pressure on your eye.
  •  It is better to avoid washing eyes in case of mechanical injuries.  In case of a chemical injury, wash the eye well with clean water.
  •  Don’t neglect any eye injury, however trivial it may look. It is always better to rule out vision-threatening problems
  •  If a particle is large or stuck in the eye, do not attempt to remove it. Visit your ophthalmologist immediately
  •  If any chemical substance has entered the eye, immediately wash your eyes with water for a couple of minutes

Skin Care 

  • Consume 8-10 glasses of water every day to keep your skin hydrated. This will also help to keep your scalp cool, hydrated, and breathing all the time. It will help in reducing the effects of crackers and pollution on your skin & hair
  • Include more fruits and nuts in your diet to help your body stabilize after the heavy consumptions of Diwali sweets & snacks
  • Ensure you follow an exfoliating regime post-Diwali, to help your skin breathe from the heavy makeup and pollution it was exposed to.
  • Limit the consumption of sugar after the festive season
  • Consult your doctor in case of burns on the skin
  • If needed, get some medicated facial after Diwali
  • Avoid harsh surface chemical treatments during the Diwali month—be it for skin or hair

Diet Maintenance of Cholesterol levels.

Diet For Better Heart Health and the Maintenance of Cholesterol levels.

Maintenance of Cholesterol levels.

In a world where a quick-grab food costs almost a penny, well, let’s put it this way you just pay with something else. Increasing obesity in teens, increasing cholesterol levels in middle-aged people are the aftermaths of this fast-food industry boom. Diet For Better Heart Health and the Maintenance of Cholesterol levels.

How can you change your diet to keep yourself in check?

  • Omega 3 Fatty Acids and the heart

Omega 3s have been found to have benefits for heart health although there is some debate exactly how much benefit there is. Early studies indicated large benefits,

but more recent studies have suggested much smaller benefits. Fish derived Omega 3s such as EPA and DHA have been most extensively tested in clinical trials. Plants do have

Omega 3 in the form of ALA, however, this form has not been studied as extensively as fish derived Omega 3s.

  • Reduce Trans Fats

Research has shown that different fats have different effects on our body. The aim of a heart-friendly diet isn’t to remove all, fat from the diet. A more balanced strategy towards dietary fats is to limit saturated fat and trans fats.

Increasing Omega 3s and unsaturated fats from nuts, legumes and plants. Trans fats are associated with significantly higher rates of heart disease. As a response, there has been a global effort to reduce the number of Trans fats in commercially manufactured food.

  • Increase Fiber

A higher level of dietary fibre has been linked with lower rates of heart disease. A simple trick is to incorporate more whole grains in your diet.

  • Increase Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat, contain dietary fibre and have many important nutrients.

These few health tips can help you maintain your cholesterol levels and have a healthy heart. A diet which contains the aforementioned items also decreases the chances of cardiovascular diseases. Some good healthy exercise twice a week, could just be the cherry on the top. 

For a healthy heart, a balanced diet is also essential. Consuming fibre-rich food is necessary, as this naturally cleanse your system and keep your heart healthy as a result of proper digestion. Abstain from fibreless junk and processed foods as the high content of unhealthy fats, salt and sugar contribute to obesity – a significant risk factor for heart diseases.  YES mentioning this twice! 

Alcohol and tobacco (whether chewed or smoked) are habits that you must avoid in your endeavour to take care of the health of your heart.

There’s also an issue with insulin, When insulin stays chronically elevated because of high blood sugar levels, your cells become “resistant” to this hormone. Insulin resistance is a chief driver for heart disease.

Wait, every cloud has a silver lining, Good news for chocolate lovers: The flavanols in dark chocolate can boost heart health. Quality and quantity are key: Look for organic raw dark chocolate with at least 85   or higher cacao and no more than five grams of sugar per serving. Remember that most bars contain several servings.

Another beneficial substance to heart health is green tea! Another driver of bad health is lack of sleep, on the other hand, can activate the body’s stress response by triggering the sympathetic nervous system, and this can alter the production of cortisol.

Limiting sodium intake which is consuming less salt is also beneficial for the heart. Replacing saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids in the daily diet can also help lower cholesterol levels, which is one of the risk factors for heart diseases.

Mental Health Disorders On The Rise During Covid

Mental Health Disorders On The Rise During Covid

Mental Health Disorders

Mental Health Disorders On The Rise During Covid. This year mental health has got a slightly different atmosphere as the Covid-19 challenge has yet to end, coupled with the fear of a second wave in the winter.

The theme of this year’s celebration, Mental Health for All is also in line with this epidemic phenomenon that affects almost everyone in diverse circumstances. In addition to the direct impact on physical health, this epidemic also has an indirect impact on human social well-being and mental health.

The Stats

Global statistics have shown an increase in cases of psychological stress, depression, anxiety, acts of self-harm and domestic violence during this period. Also, a World Health Organization (WHO) study involving 130 countries reported that more than 60 per cent of psychiatric and mental health services were directly affected by this epidemic.

These include postponement of appointments and therapies, lack of resources, patient logistics issues, finances and services that cannot meet current needs. This indirectly reminds us of a fact that has long been mentioned, namely about the lack of resources in mental health services that need to be taken seriously. The country’s ability to cope with the complications of this epidemic in terms of mental health must be enhanced so that it is in line with the needs in the field.

The Affects

We are aware of the mental health status of Indians that need serious attention. The prevalence of mental problems has tripled from 10.7 per cent (1996) to 29.2 per cent (2016). Depression and anxiety are among the contributors to the issue of disability here. Not only that, mental health problems in the workplace have a significant economic burden on India, whereas much as INR 14.46 billion had to be borne due to the implications of mental problems in the workplace in 2018.

Even so, human resources for this field are still in critical condition. This can be seen from the rate of a psychiatrist per 100,000 Indians To understand this from a public health perspective, for example, with a prevalence of 8 per cent of cases of depression, this means that for depression alone, an estimated 1.6 million adult Indians suffer from depression – far more than the capacity of existing psychiatrists.

Public opinion on this global mental health crisis

Also, we have a shortage of clinical psychologists and counsellors in the public sector. Sadly, the budget specifically for mental health is only INR 50.82 million which is only one per cent of the overall national health budget. This is making people more anxious and everything (at least mentally) is in chaos.

What can be done?

The government should consider creating a one-stop centre such as the mental help centres concept for adolescents, collaborating with the Ministry of Education to create emotional management modules for more intensive students, working with the Ministry of Women and Family Development for parenting psychology courses for young families and the Department through pre-marital courses.

Also, mental health issues in the workplace should be given attention. Among those that can be recommended is the creation of more counsellor positions in government departments such as Federal and State Government agencies to help staff who suffer from stress.

We also need better mental health networks in the community for prevention and treatment in the community as well as rehabilitation to improve patients’ ability to return to society. For example, by increasing the capacity of more Health Clinics to hold a mobile team to provide home-based services to patients.

We also need to increase the empowerment of online counselling services by creating a more integrated approach.

The take from this

Covid-19 should make us aware of the importance of mental health in facing the short-term and long-term implications of this transmission. We all must play our roles in helping to improve access and increase investment in the mental health sector.

Cooperation from the community, the private and non-governmental organizations will fulfil the inspiration and hope from the theme of this year’s World Mental Health Month theme, ‘Mental Health for All’.

The Most Common Dental Problem - Pyria

The Most Common Dental Problem – Pyria

Most Common Dental Problem – Pyria

You must’ve experienced aching tooth, bleeding gums, a thin film of a substance called plaque, and bad breath sometime in your life. All these conditions can be attributed to a single culprit called Pyria, the menace.

What Causes Pyria?

The Most Common Dental Problem – Pyria. The cause of plaque-induced Pyria is bacterial plaque, which acts to initiate the body’s host response. This, in turn, can lead to the destruction of the gingival tissues, which may progress to the destruction of the periodontal attachment apparatus. The plaque accumulates in the small gaps between teeth, in the gingival grooves, and in areas known as plaque traps: locations that serve to accumulate and maintain plaque.

Examples of plaque traps include bulky and overhanging restorative margins, clasps of removable partial dentures, and calculus (tartar) that forms on teeth. Although these accumulations may be tiny, the bacteria in them produce chemicals, such as degradative enzymes, and toxins, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS, otherwise known as endotoxin) or lipoteichoic acid (LTA), that promote an inflammatory response in the gum tissue.

This inflammation can cause an enlargement of the gingiva and subsequent formation. Early plaque in health consists of a relatively simple bacterial community dominated by Gram-positive cocci and rods. As plaque matures and gingivitis develops, the communities become increasingly complex with higher proportions of Gram-negative rods, fusiform, filaments, spirilla, and spirochetes. Later experimental gingivitis studies, using culture, provided more information regarding the specific bacterial species present in plaque.

Taxa associated with gingivitis included Fusobacterium nucleatum subspecies polymorphism, Lachnospiraceae [G-2] species HOT100, Lautropia species HOTA94, and Prevotella oulorum (a species of Prevotella bacterium), whilst Rothia dentocariosa was associated with periodontal health. Further study of these taxa is warranted and may lead to new therapeutic approaches to prevent periodontal disease.

The Most Common Dental Problem – Pyria

The Risk Factors 

Risk factors associated with Pyria include the following:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Age
  • Deficiency in Vitamin C & D
  • Pre-existing conditions such as diabetes
  • Genetic factors

 Symptoms

  • Swollen gums
  • Bright red or purple gums
  • Gums that are tender or painful to the touch
  • Bleeding gums and/or bleeding after brushing and/or flossing
  • Bad breath 

Prevention

Pyria can be prevented through regular oral hygiene that includes daily brushing and flossing. Hydrogen peroxide, saline, alcohol or chlorhexidine mouthwashes may also be employed. In a clinical study, the beneficial effect of hydrogen peroxide on gingivitis has been highlighted. The use of oscillation type brushes might reduce the risk of gingivitis compared to manual brushing.

Rigorous plaque control programs along with periodontal scaling and curettage also have proved to be helpful, although according to the American Dental Association, periodontal scaling and root planing are considered as a treatment for periodontal disease, not as a preventive treatment for periodontal disease. In a 1997 review of effectiveness data, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found clear evidence showing that toothpaste containing triclosan was effective in preventing Pyria.
